Poetry For Everyday People
A Blues Poem
I'm dreaming
I'm feeling
I'm falling
short of something?
yet my legs work,
my arms, my eyes,
my senses,
I have love, family,
why aren't I just
thankful?
what more do I want?
I have the ability
to accomplish anything,
Yet
morality, integrity,
fairness, kindness,
that's my set back
that's the set back,
that's where smooth
flies off key, off time,
no rhythm, no beat, no feel,
that's where bulls-hit sits
on your heart
and you have to
find a way to rise above,
a way to feel the moon or
reflected in an honest move,
to attack with reason,
revenge with a kiss,
redemption in a word
or two,
lay low
in wine
and
thoughts,
laugh big
in love
and
friendship,
sink deep
in soul.
